OS rebuild - suggestions on restoring with "automated" backups?

Channels DVR Server Troubleshooting
#1

I've been running Channels DVR in a Docker container but recently had a server crash that required me to rebuild the OS. I don't have a backup of the DB beyond the automated backups. How do I get Channels-DVR back online beyond simply starting over with a fresh install. The Docker image comes up but asks me to restore or create new.

I have roughly 2TB of recordings safe on another drive but don't seem to be able to access the DB backups located there.

The OS is Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and as mentioned, running a Docker image, latest without nvidia.

Thanks

The automatic backups are kept beside your recordings.
My docker container uses /shares/dvr which maps to /volume1/chDVRhdhr

So my backups are in /shares/dvr/Database (/volume1/chDVRhdhr/Database)
If I wanted to restore using my container, I would point it to /shares/dvr/Database

After taking a break, I was able to cleanup my volume mounts and the backups popped-up afterward where you mentioned.

Thanks for the help.
